All of a sudden every time I go to open 914World, I have to log on. Doesn’t happen when using iPad or MacBook, just the iPhone. Is there a setting I need to change? Seems like this happened several years ago......
Any help will be appreciated

Make sure you have cookies turned on, otherwise we can't track your login.

As for the "not secure" message, that's because we don't have a SSL certificate so it deems our login page "not secure". I'll get around to fixing that eventually but it isn't really a big deal.

Bring those cookies tomorrow morning.

The new Apple OS now shows "insecure" networks.

I would clarify and add that it’s not a big deal unless one uses the same credentials for another site or account. Don’t do that. If a bad actor gets your credentials to a non-secure site, they will be the first credentials they try to hack your email or banking account with. Make your passwords unique gang.

Just to clarify, having a "unsecure" login page on 914world means that someone can theoretically get your 914world password if:

- They hacked your computer and intercept your login message. However, at that point they probably already have a key-logger installed, so even if we had a SSL certificate, you'd still be hacked and your password would be compromised.

- Your ISPs router(s) are hacked

- Our server is hacked


That's pretty much it. If none of the above is true, there is no difference between a "secure" login page and a "unsecure" login page.

PS: Having separate passwords is good advice though. Don't use the same password for 914world and your online banking!
